Yes, I have the wifi buetooth dongle. My personal phone sees it no problem. When I go into TORQUE app or OBDLINK app on this radio it always prompts me to enable Bluetooth on the Android radio and always loops back to the first picture I posted where it asks to enable Bluetooth and never connects. When I pull down on the radio to see the Bluetooth option and select it, it just goes straight to phone pairing screen. I factory reset my system 3 times and still same issues. Might have a broken system or maybe need new firmware? Everything else works fine.

I found these pictures from Kri (https://github.com/chinesebmwheaduni...58332e9009ad3d) and it appears I have the same PCB. I have attached a close up of this board of the same area that is damaged on mine. What is going on here? Should I reconnect these wires the same way? Is the solder touching on some of the other connections on this side of the board (all the way left in third picture and to the right of my problem area) an issue or do these just hold the supplementary board onto the PCB (I do not know the proper terms here so please excuse my ignorance). In any case, I think this just relates to an antenna and not the root of my issue. The Chinese vendor finally got back to me on my request for the MCU, but provided OS 1.14-8.1, not the MCU. I have been asking for a warranty replacement and they are suggesting I get it diagnosed locally for compensation. I am at the point of just purchasing a new, upgraded unit, but also concerned that a new unit will not work either (even though everything appears to be related to Android as my CIC works perfectly on native screen or in Android on OEM). Is it possible this is a BMW coding issue? I believe my Combox was retrofit from TCU/MULF, but not sure that would make any difference. If it was not coded correctly, I do not think it would work on the native side (pre-screen Android HU). I believe I also found someone with an E70 and same unit that had a similar issue, but it seems he stopped posting (https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...postcount=2080). First two images are from Kri's link, next four are mine, and the last one is from cybertiger's post who also had issues with an E70 and same PCB. Last edited by dico21; 07-23-2020 at 12:23 AM.. |

A quality 3.5mm mini jack cable does make a small difference. The supplied cable is pretty cheap. If you are in the US, I can share an Amazon link for the cable I used. Of course everyone sound requirement is different, one can use an USB sound card to get better audio.

Good day everyone!
I've got an issue with the CarPlay with those HU. I have the white dongle (the version with the cable) with AutoPlayBox.apk installed, which used to work well on my old 7.1 HU. Now when I connect my iphone it works sometimes, but most of the times when I connect the phone the screen goes black, but it seems as if the carplay is actually runinng (I see the notification on the phone and the music starts playing).. Does anyone have the same issue? Does anybody know how to solve it? Thanks a lot!! |

"CarPlay" problem on Android 10 or Android 9, no because posting on the 2 wires at the same time and everywhere for different problems, it becomes complicated to answer you ...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello All, I thought to update to 10, but Android security patch level you are on what date please? |

Hi all! I just installed a rear camera and everything works, but from time to time, when I insert reverse gear, the camera doesn't start or while I'm moving image dissapear and back to android.
I think it could be a bad connection I could made or perhaps the reverse light doesn't give a consistent tension or something. Do you know what could happen or do you have a similar problem? thanks in advance! |

Hello,
I'd like to try the custom ROM to bypass some issues with the stock ROM, so someone having experience with custom ROM (Hal9K or Malaysk) can give me clarification for the following points: 1) The custom ROM is compatible with our 10.25 head unit ? 2) Is it possible to upgrade to custom ROM ? 3) If custom ROM is utilisable, is it possible to install the stock MCU ? Or we need also a custom MCU ? Thanks. |

Camera should not be connected to reverse light at all, but be powered directly from the Android headunit. If your Android harness has a red cable labeled +12V Camera, this is it.

Here a little guide how to gather the factory_config.xml file from your headunit.
This is only useful if there has been not imported any file by yourself before ! When the system is running at normal state the folder does appear empty on Android alltough it is not. There are two possibilities, ony without the need of root and one with need of root: Variante 1
Variante 2 Kri Last edited by Kri; 08-13-2020 at 01:33 AM.. |

you can either solder ist again directly to the board, or which is more easily solder it on the two large pads on the side. The inner pad is the signal line, the outside pad (near to the end) is the shield pad. Retrofitting a combox does not have any relation to your missing can at the headunit. 10.4V voltage on the bus is way too high, you have measured it correctly ? At TIS there is a guide how to measure K-can , it is for F series but does also fit E series. when you do have the same Board, maybe you also have the same harness ? My harness has configurable CAN connectors, check if your`s also does have it. Check your harness if CAN is going from input to output of your harness, they are pin 9 and 11. It should also work with only one can transceivers as it is working on most e series cars this way. Kri Last edited by Kri; 07-26-2020 at 02:00 AM.. |

Sound/Music while in BMW UI
Hello,
I've tried a few searches but maybe I'm not wording them correctly because I could not find the answer to my question. So if anyone here knows, please let me know, or point me in the right direction. My question is: Is there a way to keep the music that you are playing on the Android side of things (like Spotify) continue to play when you switch to the normal car UI? I can only make this happen using a workaround*, but not by the normal means of switching back and forth between Android and BMW UI (ie when touching the "car" button in the Android UI, or long-pressing the MENU button in the iDrive wheel). The main use I have for this is to fine-tune sound settings between Android's own sound UI, and BMW's TONE sub-menu. I need to be able to hear the music in both UI's and not have it turn off when I switch out of Android. I feel like I'm overlooking an option in the factory settings perhaps? Thank you for your help. *BTW, if you don't already know of the workaround way of doing this, it is: Start your music in Android (or Carplay within Android). Then press the PDC\Reverse Cam button (since the system already has a specific factory function to allow/disallow sound while reversing, if you have it set to on, the music will not go away while reversing or manually turning on PDC). The reason this is a workaround is that while the setting is supposed to allow your Android music to continue playing while reversing, you can actually browse the entire iDrive tree while the music is still playing, as long as you entered iDrive in this manner (and not via the "direct" way). |
